Pro/Con Carpet vs GTP

[MDT]

Mad....just curious....are you wanting to breed the balls because you would like to gain the husbandry experience, or, because you see somewhat of an entrepreneurial possibility there? I ask because if you check out Kingsnake, there are over 20 pages of balls for sale and Fauna looks to be very similar. Go to any herp show, and table after table of balls seems to be the norm. You gotta admit, there is a glut of ball pythons out there, and without a "compelling product", it may be tough to sell your offspring. If it's for the latter reason, you've got a ton of competition. If it's the former reason, then consider breeding a different, maybe a little more obscure species. Maybe just gradually get a trio of desirable carpet morphs and begin your husbandry trials there? Just consider how you will ultimately "move" your product (baby snakes), your overall investment and return, and if you can't sell them, what are you willing (able) to do to house/care for them for (potentially) a very long time.

Not trying to bust your chops, just stuff to think about.....
